Jean Skirt - Pillow Case - Antique Fabric Purse - Spring Garden

This spring time purse was once an ordinary jean skirt, pillow sham, and antique mohair upholstery fabric which have been lovingly upcycled.  On the front pockets I embroidered with floss and silk ribbon, free hand.  I left the back 2 pockets of the skirt...they are functional and snap shut.  The inside of the purse has two pockets and is fully lined with green antique mohair upholstery fabric.  It has a zipper closure, so you won't lose anything. 

The only new item that I bought was the zipper and interfacing.  My goal in making purses etc. is using materials I already have lying around the house or thrift store finds. 


  
  
I love mohair!  Soft just like a teddy bear.
